hey you, thanks for coming
I’m glad we got to learn together
I’M NOT really inclined to head outdoors during Saturdays (It’s aside from rainy holidays and the Christmas breaks of our childhood), but last Oct. 14 was a different case, for the following reasons: 1) It was sweldo day the day before. 2) It was a beautiful day. The sun was out, but I wasn’t sweltering in the heat. 3) It was Scout Creative Talks! Let me crunch the numbers: More than a thousand attendees listening to nine speakers discussing eight different topics over more than seven hours, followed by a couple of hours of libations in one afternoon. How crazy is that?
Here are some of my own personal favorite moments leading up to, during, and immediately after this year’s Scout Creative Talks:
before the event, I felt relief, immediately followed by anxiety. How am I going to face more than a thousand people on stage?

If you were one of the people there, thank you, and I wished you learned as much as I did. There’s beauty in people gathering under one roof to learn and openly discuss topics we care about.
If you weren’t there, I’ll take it that you read it this far because you’re interested. See you next year! It’ll be a blast.
